The DOJ March 2024 Final Rule confirms: websites are places of public accommodation under ADA Title III. There is no revenue or employee threshold for website compliance.
What the law requires
Alt text for all images
Every image must have descriptive text that screen readers can convey to blind users.
Full keyboard navigation
Every feature on your site must be usable without a mouse — menus, forms, modals, all of it.

Text must be readable for low-vision users. Failing this is one of the most cited violations.
Captions on all video
Pre-recorded and live video content must have accurate, synchronized captions.
Accessible forms & error messages
Every form field needs a clear label and errors must explain exactly what went wrong.

Start your free trialDoes the ADA apply to websites?
Yes. The DOJ issued a Final Rule in March 2024 confirming that websites are places of public accommodation under ADA Title III. All businesses open to the public must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
What size business has to comply?
Title III applies to any business that serves the public — there is no employee-count exemption for website accessibility. Any company with a public-facing website is exposed.
How many ADA accessibility lawsuits are filed each year?
Over 10,000 per year in federal and state courts combined. 66% target businesses with under $25M in revenue. Average settlement: $35,000 + attorney fees.
Isn't an accessibility overlay enough?
No — and courts have agreed. Overlays modify how your site appears to assistive technology without fixing your underlying code. Multiple lawsuits have succeeded against companies using overlay tools. Real compliance requires fixing the source.
